Here's my can of spam...but I suck at circles...so I'll let someone else diddle instead
of just putting one of Joan's around it.   X:o)

I have to wonder if the reason why the media keeps throwing the word "Papparazzi"(sp?) about
is that they are trying to separate themselves from these sick-o's...even though their
constant use of this tragedy to sell advertising space is exactly the same thing as what
caused it in the first place.  STOP THE MADNESS-DON'T BUY THAT CRAP AND GET OVER YOUR FAME
ADDICTION!

So many of us are frustrated by spam popping up in every corner of the
internet.  I thought it might be fun to post anti-spam ascii art.  I was
attempting to include my own  contribution (can o' spam iside a circle
with a line crossing it out), but it really, really didn't work out at
all.  I'll save face by leaving that out, but I would love to see what
others will come up with.  Perhaps some sig-sized anti-spam art would be
nice too.

I love all of the art I see on this group, keep up the good work!

Hi Michael,

From a can of spam

           _________
          (_________)
          | S P A M |
          |  ,-$$$&.|
          | @@%%***,|
          | `---### |
    ak    `---------'


I made after this picture: http://wwwtios.cs.utwente.nl/~kenter/image/spam.gif

I drew this sign for you:

              ______
          . ' ____  `-._
       ,' _.-'    `, ._ `.
      / .'  ______/ /  '. \
     / /   (_____/ /_)   \ \
    ; ;    | S P/ /M |    ; ;
    | |    |   / /$&.|    | |
    | |    | @/ /***,|    | |
    ; ;    | / /-### |    ; ;
     \ \   `/ /------'   / /
      `.`. / /        _,' /
        ` . '--___--"' , '
    ak     `---___--"'


I used Joan's skull as template for the circles but I guess they could be
improved upon. Circles are just the most difficult thing to get right in
ascii art... For me that is.

Have fun with it :-)

That is excellent!  I (and many others, I'm sure) will have fun indeed.
Thank you!
